Introducing MiniCPM-V 4.5 on WaveSpeedAI: GPT-4o-Level Image Understanding in a Compact Package

The landscape of multimodal AI just got more accessible. We’re excited to announce the availability of MiniCPM-V 4.5 on WaveSpeedAI—a groundbreaking vision-language model that delivers GPT-4o-level performance with just 8 billion parameters. Whether you’re building document processing pipelines, creating intelligent visual assistants, or developing applications that need to understand and analyze images, MiniCPM-V 4.5 brings enterprise-grade capabilities to your projects without the enterprise-grade complexity.

What is MiniCPM-V 4.5?

MiniCPM-V 4.5 is the latest and most capable model in the MiniCPM-V series, developed by OpenBMB. Built on Qwen3-8B and SigLIP2-400M architectures, this multimodal large language model (MLLM) accepts images, videos, and text as inputs and generates high-quality text outputs. What makes it remarkable is the combination of compact size and exceptional performance—achieving an average score of 77.2 on OpenCompass, a comprehensive benchmark suite, while surpassing models like GPT-4o-latest, Gemini-2.0 Pro, and Qwen2.5-VL 72B.

The model represents a significant leap forward in making powerful AI accessible. Where previous vision-language models required massive computational resources, MiniCPM-V 4.5 proves that efficiency and capability can coexist, making it the most performant open-source multimodal model under 30 billion parameters.

Key Features

Industry-Leading OCR and Document Understanding

MiniCPM-V 4.5 sets new standards for optical character recognition and document parsing. On OCRBench, it outperforms both GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5, making it ideal for extracting text from complex documents, invoices, receipts, and handwritten notes. The model also achieves state-of-the-art performance on OmniDocBench for PDF document parsing, supporting:

Full-text OCR extraction with high accuracy
Table-to-markdown conversion
Multi-page document understanding
Complex layout analysis

Exceptional High-Resolution Image Processing

Using an advanced LLaVA-UHD-based architecture, MiniCPM-V 4.5 can process images with any aspect ratio and up to 1.8 million pixels while using 4x fewer visual tokens than most MLLMs. This means faster processing and lower costs without sacrificing quality.

Reduced Hallucinations

One of the persistent challenges in AI vision models has been hallucination—generating text about things that aren’t actually in the image. MiniCPM-V 4.5 addresses this through Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF-V), achieving scores that surpass GPT-4o on MMHal-Bench for trustworthy responses.

Hybrid Thinking Modes

The model offers two switchable reasoning modes optimized through a novel hybrid reinforcement learning method:

Fast Mode: Efficient processing for routine queries and quick analysis tasks
Deep Mode: Step-by-step reasoning for complex analytical challenges

Multilingual Support

With support for over 30 languages including English, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and more, MiniCPM-V 4.5 is ready for global applications.

Real-World Use Cases

Document Digitization and Processing

Transform your document workflows by automatically extracting and structuring information from scanned documents, PDFs, and images. The model’s superior OCR capabilities make it perfect for:

Invoice and receipt processing
Contract analysis and extraction
Form digitization
